I’m trying to fix this for such a long time. I’ve used the scotty gallery but want to open the clicked thumnail in a new movie.  
Not the container already on te stage.

I completely lost it. I have no idea how to do this.

anyone?

this is the part where needs to be done I guess:

function makeMenu() {  
clearInterval(delay);

```
var item = sub_menu.createEmptyMovieClip("pic"+q, q);
item.loadMovie(pictArray[p]);

var temp = _parent.createEmptyMovieClip("tmp", 9999+q, 1000);
temp.onEnterFrame = function() {
    
    var tot = item.getBytesTotal();
    var loa = item.getBytesLoaded();
    var per = Math.round(((loa/tot)*100)/(pictArray.length*2));
    
    loadBar._xscale = loadper+per;
    if (tot == loa && tot&gt;4) {
        item.id = p;
        loadper += per;
        if (q&gt;0) {
            item._x = sub_menu["pic"+(q-1)]._x+sub_menu["pic"+(q-1)]._width;
        } else {
            item._x = 0;
        }
        
        item.onRelease = function() {
            
            containerMC.loadPic(this.id);
            
            
            
        };

```

here is the code that i’ve been using:

spacing = 10;  
containerMC.\_alpha = 0;  
pArray = new Array();  
pictArray = new Array();  
MovieClip.prototype.loadPic = function(pic) {  
this.\_alpha = 0;

```
this.loadMovie(pArray[pic]);

this._parent.onEnterFrame = function() {
    var t = containerMC.getBytesTotal(), l = containerMC.getBytesLoaded();
    bar._visible = 1;
    per = Math.round((l/t)*100);
    if (t != 0 && Math.round(l/t) == 1 && containerMC._width != 0) {
        var w = containerMC._width+spacing, h = containerMC._height+spacing;
        border.resizeMe(w, h);
        bar._visible = 0;
        delete this.onEnterFrame;
    } else {
        bar._width = per;
    }
};

```

};  
MovieClip.prototype.resizeMe = function(w, h, pic) {  
var speed = 3;  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
this.\_width += (w-this.\_width)/speed;  
this.\_height += (h-this.\_height)/speed;  
if (Math.abs(this.\_width-w)\<1 && Math.abs(this.\_height-h)\<1) {  
this.\_width = w;  
this.\_height = h;  
containerMC.\_x = this.\_x-this.\_width/2+spacing/2;  
containerMC.\_y = this.\_y-this.\_height/2+spacing/2;  
containerMC.\_alpha = 100;  
delete this.onEnterFrame;  
}  
};  
};

my\_xml = new XML();  
my\_xml.ignoreWhite = true;  
my\_xml.onLoad = function(success) {  
if (success) {  
for (var i = 0; i\<this.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {  
pictArray.push(this.firstChild.childNodes\*.attributes.thumb);  
pArray.push(this.firstChild.childNodes\*.attributes.image);  
}  
}  
delay = setInterval(makeMenu, 0);  
};

my\_xml.load(“gallery.xml”);

        nextItem();
        delete this.onEnterFrame;
    }
};

}  
var amount = pictArray.length-1;  
function nextItem() {

    q++;

    } else {

    }
